I'd make one now, except just thinking about it depresses me. I was not happy about the results of the midterm, needless to say... and I am even less happy, if possible, about this "compromise" that Obama has made with the GOP on taxes. From where I sit, it smells more like capitulation than compromise. Give a lot, get almost nothing.

Obama is the most intelligent president we've had since Jimmy Carter... and, sad to say, he is looking more and more like Jimmy every day. A good man, but not a good leader. At least not so far. He doesn't seem to have the stomach for a fight. We need another FDR, another JFK, another LBJ. NOT Jimmy II. (And, yes, I know, Obama has accomplished some important stuff. But so did Jimmy. Camp David accords, remember?)

Yeats was writing about his own time in "The Second Coming," I know, but sometimes I think he was prescient:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

And could that rough beast whose hour has come round at least be... Sarah Palin?

No, please. Tell me that's just a bad dream. Somebody wake me up.

Current Mood: gloomy

the books that you our writing George our coming true... this is the truth... you have been spoken through or from with in by a being that is not of conscious human being. Our world needs to open its third eye because Èpandoras boxÈ is opening, what ever you call it, it is opening. from the pyramids to aliens, philosophy and spiritualism, animals, life, stillness. I am just telling you George that you have energy in you that was possibly from the source. Through writing you have subliminally given it to the world, carried by your imagination... believe me or not... im not a fan, my belief is not that small, i am just telling you George... u understand.
